      Panama remains free of zoonotic tuberculosis caused by Mycobacterium bovis. However, DNA fingerprinting of 7 M. bovis isolates from a 2013 bovine tuberculosis outbreak indicated minimal homology with strains previously ...

    • Mycobacterium tuberculosis Isolates from Single Outpatient Clinic in Panama City Exhibit Wide Genetic Diversity 

      Sambrano, Dilcia; Correa, Ricardo; Almengor, Pedro; Domínguez, Amada; Vega, Silvio; Goodridge, Amador (2014-08-06)
      Understanding Mycobacterium tuberculosis biodiversity and transmission is significant for tuberculosis control. This short report aimed to determine the genetic diversity of M. tuberculosis isolates from an outpatient ...

    • Overweight, Obesity, and Older Age Favor Latent Tuberculosis Infection among Household Contacts in Low Tuberculosis-Incidence Settings within Panama 

      Cubilla-Batista, Idalina; Ruiz, Nadia; Sambrano, Dilcia; Castillo, Juan; de Quinzada, Markela O; Gasteluiturri, Begoña; Goodridge, Amador (2019-05-01)
      Latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) remains the main source of new active tuberculosis (TB) cases worldwide. Household close contacts (HCCs) are at high risk of acquiring LTBI and subsequent development of TB. In this ...

    • Simplified Model to Survey Tuberculosis Transmission in Countries Without Systematic Molecular Epidemiology Programs 

      Domínguez, Juan; Acosta, Fermín; Pérez-Lago, Laura; Sambrano, Dilcia; Batista, Victoria; De La Guardia, Carolina; Abascal, Estefanía; Chiner-Oms, Álvaro; Comas, Iñaki; González, Prudencio; Bravo, Jaime; Del Cid, Pedro; Rosas, Samantha; Muñoz, Patricia; Goodridge, Amador; García de Viedma, Darío (2019-03-01)
      Systematic molecular/genomic epidemiology studies for tuberculosis surveillance cannot be implemented in many countries. We selected Panama as a model for an alternative strategy. Mycobacterial interspersed repetitive ...
